As an adult, do you like to color? I've heard it said that coloring is the new yoga for some people, because they find it that enjoyable and relaxing. As an adult, do you like coloring? What do you like to color with (e.g. color pencils, markers, water color, etc.)? Do you find it relaxing? Tell us in the comments.

The title of this blog post is actually a direct quote from lesson 52 of "A Course in Miracles," and it's something I touch upon in the "Everyday Subtle Energetic Influences" book.

In the book, I share a story of an experience I had when I was in my early or mid 20's that really brought that quote into full awareness for me.

In that experience, I was having a heated argument with my mom. Although I recall being very angry with her at the time, I don't recall what the argument was about. But, I acted very teen like and abruptly walked off fuming, as I made my way to my bedroom.

As I was walking down a split staircase that lead to my bedroom, I internally asked myself, "Why am I so angry?" The answer to that question came quickly, as I realized that I was angry with my mom because she was not acting or saying what "I" wanted her to act or say. Immediately following this, I thought, "Well, who am I to tell someone else what they should or should not be or do? I wouldn't want someone else doing that to me." This realization blossomed into an immediate sense of forgiveness towards my mom and especially myself, as I realized that "I" created the anger because she did not fulfill MY expectations. I did it to myself. And boy was I angry at the moment of our argument.

All this occurred while I was still walking down the stairs to go to my bedroom. By the time I reached my bedroom, I had forgiven her, and myself for creating the anger, and was left with a deep feeling of love for her and myself.

Lesson 52 in a Course in Miracles tries to help us to recognize that we often create our own versions of reality that are based on our expectations. So, in essence we really are "upset because we see what is not there." After all, it's not there. We put it there, as my story demonstrates.

Ironically, this was one of the reasons I created the "Appreciating Me Journal." It was an exercise that I had done myself initially, without any prompt, in 2005. Because, on the flip side of that is when others to that to us. When we don't fulfill their expectations. Often, this can be very much felt, if not verbally heard. But, this is just one aspect of how often the world around us tries to tell us who we are, what we are, and whether we are worthy. And given the often hostile comments and opinions of others on the internet today, the journal can truly help you to be more fully centered in recognizing your self-worth, that is not subject to what others have said/written or are creating.

I sincerely hope you'll consider what I wrote about in your own life. How often have you done this? How often have you felt or held anger because, in reality, they did not meet your expectations?

I hope you'll purchase a copy of the "Everyday Subtle Energetic Influences" book, and enter to win the "Appreciating Me Journal" and the "My Appreciating me Notebook," so you can do all the exercises to help yourself feel more calm, quiet, and centered in your self-worth.

"Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’m continually fascinated with “possibility.” More so, because I’ve not only experienced many interesting things in my life, but I’ve also witnessed others experience them as well. You could say that I am a lifelong student of “possibility."

Years ago, I had a young woman call me in a state of distress. She was afraid she was being stalked by a young man. She was frightened to the point where she actually asked me if she should move, including moving her mom who was sick and she was caring for at home. I asked her many questions to first rule out any physical danger, and nothing indicated to me that this was the case. Therefore, I realized that, although the young man came on strong enough to frighten her, the problem wasn’t the young man so much as it was her fear. I then asked her if she had any spiritual practices. She told me that she used to be very active with the teachings of Yogananda. Being familiar with his teachings, I then suggested to her that she do a specific meditation each day, and that I’d follow up in a week. When I called her the following week, she began to conversation with, “Judy, you won’t believe what happened.” I laughed because I often hear this. She then tells me that 2 days before our call, she had gone to a coffee shop to get a coffee and that young man was there. Although feeling a bit uncomfortable, she still stayed to get her coffee. The young man then comes over to speak to her. He tells her that he wanted to apologize for his behavior the week before and that he wanted to say goodbye because he was leaving to return to his native country.

One of the many reasons I teach people about energy healing, and why it’s so important, is because l too had to go through my own learning curve in truly discovering and recognizing the many subtleties of energy, and how it affects me. Then, I discovered through working with others, that the same holds true for everyone else.

When it comes to doing energy healing as self-care, I came to recognize that there are 3 ways we experience energy (I actually cover this in more detail in the “The Ways We Experience Energy – With Special Focus on Our Own Energy” webinar.) And they are:

External Energies – This can be environmental, from a distance, projections, or the unseen.

The Here and Now – This is in your immediate environment and could be the location, a person near you, or some “thing” in the unseen (e.g. the spirit of a person who has deceased and passed). Whatever the source, it's happening here and now.

Your Own Energy – This can be the energy of your body, it could be past recordings, you are “perceiving” energy (e.g. you are receiving like a radio), or due to your attention (where your thoughts are directing your energy).

It’s nothing new to my seasoned clients when I ask them to be aware of their thoughts. Especially when they mention a situation with another person that they feel it causing them some level of discomfort. I’m using the word discomfort very generically here, and it could be a person annoyed with their roommate, their family members, partners, etc. It could be anything that is causing them to become judgmental, having unkind thoughts towards the other person, feel irritated, feel disconnected, or whatever else they may be feeling towards another person.

And so I ask them, “what have your thoughts been towards this person?” Honestly.What I consistently hear is that they’ve been having judgmental thoughts, making conclusions without asking, or simply doing what I call the B & M thoughts (bitching and moaning). All directed towards another person. Once they can acknowledge this, I then ask them what the other persons behavior has been towards them that mirrors their thoughts. Again, the typical answer is that the other person’s behavior is, in fact, mirroring their thoughts.

I then encourage them to re-direct their thoughts (their attention) to thinking only thoughts of gratitude regarding this other person. To find as many things about that person that they really like, or even remember situations with that person that endeared them, and move into a space of gratitude instead. I then encourage them to do this for a whole week.

In the over 15 years that I’ve been helping people with their energy, I’ve consistently observed a fundamental truth that I was initially made aware of during my energy training and have found very interesting since. But, before I go into what this fundamental truth is, know that I too demonstrated the same truth earlier in my training, and at times catch myself doing it still. So, if you find this to ring any bells, know you are not alone in your experience. This fundamental truth, like many things, has both a beneficial and not beneficial side to it, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It simply is.

What is this fundamental truth? Simply put, we are extremely adaptive. Unfortunately, however, our adaptive abilities often tend to lean towards the “not beneficial” side. And a big part of this is our exceeding ability to be dismissive about things we are experiencing. Let me give you an example that will hopefully make more sense.

About 10 years or less, before I began my extensive training in a unique tradition of energy healing, I had injured my lower back due to heavy lifting. My lower back had never fully healed, so it would sporadically flare up from time to time. My answer to this was to go see a Chiropractor, that only left me feeling more pain and less range of motion due to that discomfort (please note that I am not saying Chiropractors are useless. The one I happened to go to simply didn’t help.). I then resorted to ibuprofen. But, because I experienced no full relief or recovery, I simply accepted that this would flare up from time to time and I’d simply have to deal with it. It became a normal part of my life. Meaning, I “adapted” to the discomfort, and the adaptation was a dismissiveness of acknowledging that I needed to do something about it. Grant it, at the time, I didn’t see another alternative. So, I lived with the discomfort. Sound familiar?

When I began my training with a person who was highly sensitive, you might call him highly empathic or a seer, he immediately brought it to my attention. I wasn’t aware that I was experiencing any discomfort at that moment, but it was apparently noticeable to a sensitive person who didn’t have this issue. He then proceeded to teach me how to change the recording of the initiating incident and how to move the energy of my body. Although in that moment that we did the exercises I was not aware of feeling any discomfort, I definitely felt a huge relief after the exercises. So, although I adapted to that discomfort, it was apparently very much there, because I felt a noticeable relief afterwards. Since then, that discomfort rarely returned, because the moment I’d feel anything, I’d do something about it and it would completely alleviate. Like that experience, I’ve consistently encountered the same adaptation to discomfort in others, until I bring it to their attention and teach them how to transform it.
